Frances most iconic sweet wine, Chateau dYquem hails from the prestigious Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux. Owned by the luxury conglomerate LVMH since 1999, the estate boasts centuries of winemaking tradition dating back to the late 16th century. Known for its exceptional terroir and commitment to quality, Yquem is the only Sauternes classified as Premier Cru Suprieur in the 1855 classification.
Wine Description
The 2019 vintage displays a luminous golden hue with shimmering brilliance. On the nose, it bursts with vibrant aromas of apricot, honey, marmalade, orange zest, and subtle hints of ginger and white flowers. The palate is opulently layered with flavours of dried pineapple, candied citrus, and crme brle, wrapped in a silky, glycerol-rich texture. Balanced by a precise spine of acidity, the wine shows remarkable freshness despite its richness.
